An operator is only allocated if they hold a current ticket for the machine, the client-site induction, and are available. Owned cost = fuel + maintenance per engine hour + operator day rate. Hire = wet-hire rate + floats + fuel. Fixed ownership costs are excluded from the comparison because they are incurred whether or not the machine works.
